THE ABS UNIT IN MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AWD HAS AIR GOING INTO IT, CAUSING MY BRAKES TO HAVE NO PRESSURE. MY FOOT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP MY VEHICLE!!!! THIS IS NO GOOD I CARRY THREE CHILDREN IN MY CAR. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. I'M BASICALLY RIDING IN A DEATH MOBILE. MY HUSBAND HAS NEVER SCENE SOOOO MUCH AIR COME OUT WHEN HE BLEEDS THE BRAKES. DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY!!!! *TR

1. METAL COOLANT LINES GOING TO REAR HEATER FAILED ,MASSIVE CORROSION WHERE THE HEATER HOSE ATTACHES TO THE PIPE COMPLETELY ROTTED/RUSTED OUT, THE VEHICLE HAD 75K MILES ON IT. 2. IF THE COOLANT LEVEL GETS TOO LOW OF COURSE MY ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT AND SEIZE. 3. THE STEEL PIPES NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR ALUMINUM PIPES OR CORROSION PROTECTION FROM THE FACTORY THAT'S NEEDED TO WITHSTAND HARSH CLIMES, ESPECIALLY ONES WHERE SALT IS USED TO DEICE ROADWAYS. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND I SUSPECT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING AS I FEEL THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG WITH THE STEERING AS WELL AS I HEAR NOISES WHILE TURNING. THIS IS FOR MY 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. *TR

2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FUEL TANK VAPOR FLOAT VENT FAILURE. VEHICLE HAS 59,000 MILES. AFTER FUELING VEHICLE IT WILL STALL INTERMITTENTLY AT STOP SIGNS AND ON OPEN HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING, BECAUSE FUEL IS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE AND FLOODING ENGINE OUT VIA THE TANK VENTING VAPOR SYSTEM. WHEN FUELING, A FLOAT IN THE ORVR (ONBOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY) VALVE IS DESIGNED TO RISES AND SEALS THE TANK VENT CAUSING PRESSURE BUILD, BACKING FUEL UP INTO THE FILL NECK AND SHUTTING IT OFF. THE ORVR IS APPARENTLY NOT SEALING COMPLETELY OR AT ALL, ALLOWING LIQUID FUEL TO PASS INTO THE VENT LINE TO THE VAPOR CANISTER AND THEN ENGINE. THE VALVE IS PLASTIC WELDED TO THE TANK, WHICH REQUIRES THE TANK TO BE REPLACED. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM STOPS WHEN ENGINE STOPS AND VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO BE STEERED WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AID. VAPOR SYSTEM FAILURE FULLY DESCRIBED AT: HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/QUESTIONS/1OB81-2005-DODGE-CARAVAN-STALLS PRESENTLY ONLY KEEPING TANK FUEL AT A MAXIMUM OF 3/4 FULL TO AVOID FLOODING THE VAPOR VENT SYSTEM. *TR
